S2 #E11 Mel Berry: Her Spirit – Getting women fit and healthy
Mel Berry is co-founder of Her Spirit with her friend Holly Woodford. Mel is an experienced triathlon and swimming coach and leads the swimming coaching groups and the development of the overall Her Spirit coaching programme. Mel has worked with some of the best athletes, coaches and business owners in the world. Supporting these experiences has been her chance to help so many people transform their lives. She believes that anyone can achieve anything they want to. But to enable this to happen, you need good people around you to realise this. This is one of many reasons she set up Her Spirit. Mel loves to swim and currently training to swim the length of Coniston twice in one weekend and Lake Windermere one way for charity.
Exercise is so important for our physical and mental health and reduces the risk of many major diseases such as cancer, dementia, and more. But women around the world do not do enough exercise and movement. Her Spirit is here to help. Through the Her Spirit app and web site, Mel and the team are trying to make communities of women who can enjoy exercise together. Her Spirit also lead a number of campaigns including the 4-week virtual swim challenge to help raise funds for Breast Cancer Now. And in July, they are launching the Her Spirit Women’s Sports Fund to increase the accessibility to sports.
